I like this link. There is so important information about running on this site. I really need this information for running because i am not a good runner. I will follow these instructions. Nice sharing.

Subjective. Some people would just be happy with completion, others might try to strive for under 40 minutes. My mom probably can't run 5 miles in less then 40 minutes but she can compete a full 26.2 mile marathon in less then 5 hours. She is also older then 35 BTW.

So the question should really be what is your goal? If its with the military in mind then I would look at the APFT chart like Rycass suggested but look at the 60 percent time for the 2 mile and stretch that pace out to 5 miles. That should be your starting goal. After you have achieved that then set a new goal, maybe look at the 70 percent time for 2 miles and stretch that out.

Hi what's the best to improve my running time? I work at McDonald's so my regular food is fast food, I just start making exercise again a week ago, I'm running 2 miles in 23 min but I have to take my physical in the next 2 weeks. I was told I have to do 2 miles in 16 mins is that right? If I don't met that I failed? I gonna take 11b. What the longest time I can take to run the 2 miles? And what else's need to improve for my physical?
